Gala-goers put aside their gowns and tuxes for a night and instead donned their beachwear best for the Beach Ball, benefiting Phoenix Children’s Hospital The Ronald A. Matricaria Institute of Molecular Medicine. With The Phoenician resort decked out in Malibu-themed decor, the event celebrated the promise of a brighter future for cancer patients and others with life-threatening diseases. And what a bright future it is—the event raised more than $1 million for the cause. –Photos by Haute Photography
